Chapter 764 It’s hard to protect yourself
Rambo shook his head.
Xiao Ce looked at Rambo with a puzzled expression.
Rambo said to Xiao Ce, "It's not just about the election. Although this is our first meeting, if Boudica wants to do anything, just ask, and if it's something we can help with, I will definitely do it..."
Looking at how excited the two of them were.
Rambo said to Boudica, "Boudica, you don't remember me either. I came here for another reason, which I haven't told you about... Your father and I have a fairly close relationship."
“I used to hold you when you were little... Now that I’ve seen you, I know that the claim that you are an imposter is a huge joke.”
"You possess the greatest virtues of your parents..."
Boudica looked at Rambo with some surprise; clearly, she had no recollection of him.
"General, do you still recognize my mother?"
Rambo said to Boudica, "Of course, but that was years ago. It's normal that you don't remember..."
Boudica said to Rambo, "General Rambo, is your support for me... because of these things?"
Rambo shook his head with a wry smile: "Of course not..."
“I heard from Morgan that you are actually an anti-war activist… In fact, we Lannisters have been fighting on all sides for years and have never been defeated. It’s more about our reputation. Whenever our army approaches, we don’t even need to fight. Once our naval fleet arrives, they will surrender.”
"This made us all forget the cruelty of war... This time in East Asia, the crushing defeat was like a heavy blow to the head... It also made us realize... that war is ultimately for profit..."
"Looking back on all these years... I even find it laughable. Therefore, I accept everyone's opinions of me without question... My support for you stems from the hope that one day, when you become royalty in the British Empire, you will lead it into a state of orderly development, rather than causing our soldiers to risk their lives for the sake of their own interests..."
Boudica smiled bitterly after hearing Rambo's words: "General Rambo, do you really think I can win the election...?"
Rambo looked at Boudica, then at Xiao Ce, and nodded.
Xiao Ce looked at Rambo with some confusion and said, "General Rambo, since you have military power, why don't you hold elections yourselves..."
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Rambo gave a bitter smile: "Mr. Ce, it's obvious that you don't understand the national conditions of our British Empire. Our Lannister family is indeed powerful, but we are also known for our strong navy."
"However, our family's strength comes entirely from our numerous military achievements. And it's only our navy that's powerful. While we do own businesses, the Illuminati and the British Empire are well aware that they won't allow us to gain greater power..."
"They will give us rights and power, but they will also restrain us and limit our development. You can't imagine that our navy is partly funded by the British Empire, but if we want to reform our warships and distribute military pay to our soldiers, we need to contribute a large portion of the funding."
"Although we will have a considerable income after winning the war, the expenses of our massive navy are also enormous. This crushing defeat in the East Asian naval battle has dragged the Lannister family into an abyss. The compensation payments alone have already emptied our coffers. We still need to purchase warships and recruit new naval personnel, all of which require a huge amount of money..."
“Those members of their royal family, and the nobles of Britain, are like wolves, all wanting a piece of the pie! The Lannister family is practically in dire straits now... otherwise, we wouldn't need your help even for those orphans…”
Xiao Ce listened with a look of sudden realization: "No wonder... I thought you Lannisters, like them, didn't want to get involved. So, are you having financial problems now?"
Rambo nodded: "Of course money is an issue, but it's not just about money."
Xiao Ce nodded to Rambo: "Alright, General Rambo, you've expressed your stance, so I won't beat around the bush with you."
"The West as a whole has reached a turning point... We need to take the right path and, more importantly, unite. So, if you need money, we will do everything in our power to help..."
Rambo nodded: "You guys probably need money right now too...and..."
Boudica then chimed in, "General Rambo, didn't you say you'd help us? So, we're not helping you now, we're helping ourselves... If you cease to exist, then you won't be able to help us even if you wanted to. So, no matter what, you need to preserve your own strength..."
After listening to Boudica's words, Morgan nodded: "Boudica, you're right. However, what we lack right now isn't money... quite a few noble families are willing to provide us with funds..."
Xiao Ce said, "Those people are definitely loan sharks taking advantage of our misfortune. We don't want interest..."
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Morgan said, "You guys aren't exactly rolling in money, are you?"
Xiao Ce said with a smile, "If we had bought that castle before, we really wouldn't have been well-off... But times have changed... I actually have money now... We've even found some conglomerates... So, just tell me how much you need."
Morgan and Rambo exchanged a glance.
Seeing their doubts, Boudica spoke up, "General Rambo, I meant no harm. General Rambo, you're assessing us, and we're assessing you too... You exceed our expectations; you're a worthy ally..."
Rambo said to Boudica, "Oh? We've only just met... and you're already certain that I'm a worthy ally?"
Boudica nodded, then said to Rambo, "That's right. You can completely shift all the blame onto the Illuminati and the British Empire. If you're ruthless enough, you don't even need to pay those compensations... You don't need to care about these children at all... You can save the money and just use it to recruit soldiers... As long as you pay, people will still follow you..."
"There's an easy path, but you didn't take it! Just because you chose this thorny one, I can be sure you're someone I can trust and rely on..."
After listening to Boudica's words, Rambo smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll thank you for your kindness. We appreciate it... However, we have other plans..."
Boudica wanted to speak, but Xiao Ce interrupted her.
"Alright, Mr. Morgan, General Rambo, we may have many more exchanges and collaborations in the future... If you have any needs, please feel free to let us know as soon as possible... We will definitely do our best to help."
Morgan and Rambo smiled after hearing this, and then said to Xiao Ce, "Alright, Boudica and Mr. Ce, thank you for your kindness. However, if you want our help, it seems that we are in a precarious situation ourselves."
